Indian American executive sentenced in $34-mn fraud

Before being sentenced, Sachdeva apologised to her family, friends and former Koss colleagues.

"I know you were deeply hurt by my dishonesty in ways I never imagined or intended. . .I have lost everything that is dear to me, my marriage, my children, my career, my home and my freedom," she said.

Judge Adelman said that the sentence sought by Sachdeva was 'simply not long enough' given the size of the theft and abuse of trust.

"This is a case where she just stole a lot of money. The loss amount is what makes this so serious," Adelman said and sentenced her to 11 years in prison.
